Who it’s for

Men and women trying to conceive, naturally or with IVF or IUI, who want TCM support and time to rest during a stressful process. We encourage both partners to come for treatment together, because fertility involves both people. It works alongside your fertility clinic's care and never replaces it.

Two ways to see it

How it works

iThe TCM view

Every fertility journey is different, so care starts with an individual TCM assessment of your medical history, menstrual health, lifestyle, stress, sleep and reproductive concerns.

For men, TCM links reproductive health to Kidney Essence, Qi (vital energy), Blood circulation and the balance of Yin and Yang. Treatment aims to support: sperm quality, by supporting the body's natural reproductive functions; sperm motility (how well sperm move toward the egg), by addressing TCM patterns linked to vitality and circulation; sperm vitality, by supporting overall health and energy balance; relaxation, and the stress that can affect reproductive wellbeing; the TCM patterns associated with reproductive function. It does not claim to change testosterone or other hormone levels. For women, TCM sees fertility as connected to the balance of Kidney Essence, Liver Qi, Spleen Qi and Blood nourishment. Treatment aims to support: menstrual cycle wellness, addressing TCM patterns linked to irregular cycles and menstrual discomfort; ovarian and reproductive wellness, addressing the imbalances your TCM assessment finds; uterine wellness, through the TCM idea of healthy Qi and Blood circulation; stress and emotional balance while you're trying to conceive; general wellbeing through your cycle; relaxation alongside IVF and other assisted reproduction supervised by your fertility clinic.

iiThe modern view

Unlike needle acupuncture, laser acupuncture uses red and infrared cold laser light (also called low-level laser therapy) to stimulate selected acupuncture points, with no needles; it's gentle and tailored to each person.

Research on acupuncture alongside IVF is mixed. Some studies suggest benefits for stress and wellbeing during treatment, and results for pregnancy rates vary. Research on laser at acupuncture points is smaller still; for men, studies are exploring whether it may benefit sperm quality, motility and cellular function. We present it honestly as supportive care.

Low-Level Laser

Low-level laser, also called photobiomodulation, uses low-intensity light that doesn't heat or cut the skin. In TCM practice it's used to stimulate acupoints without needles. At Flourish TCM Clinic we use the BioFlex system in Laser Acupoint Therapy, the Anti-Wrinkle Laser Facial and the Lymphatic Anti-Wrinkle Facial.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Call 778-654-6693 or message us on WhatsApp. We reply the same day during opening hours.

Can acupuncture help me get pregnant?

We can't promise that, and research results are mixed. Many people use it as supportive care, for rest and stress, alongside their fertility treatment.

Does it work with IVF?

If you're preparing for IVF, it can be considered as complementary care alongside your fertility doctor or OB-GYN, with the aim of supporting reproductive wellness before embryo transfer. Please coordinate any fertility-related laser treatment with your fertility doctor, especially during an IVF cycle.

Are needles used?

No. This service uses low-level laser on acupuncture points only, with no needles.

When should I start?

Many people start a few months before treatment, but you can begin at any stage.

Why is it on a waitlist?

It's performed by a registered acupuncturist, and we're waiting for a new one to join our team. We're not booking this treatment right now. Join the waitlist and we'll contact you as soon as appointments open.
